Ethereum Co-Founder Suggests AI-Powered Approach to Crypto Security

The recent surge in phishing scams and treasury account breaches has highlighted the need for enhanced security measures in the crypto industry.

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, believes that integrating security into the user experience can help mitigate these risks. He emphasizes that security and user experience are interconnected, aiming to reduce the gap between user intent and system performance.

Buterin's proposal involves a combination of type systems, formal verification, and large language models to ensure robustness and redundancy in the system. This approach prioritizes understanding human cognition over strictly technical solutions, as even simple transactions rely on complex assumptions about identity and blockchain forks.
